Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in damp, humid conditions, which is why fast water extraction and drying is one of the best ways to prevent it.
Fixing the underlying moisture source, ensuring proper drying, and sometimes applying antimicrobial treatments are key steps in preventing recurrence.
